Site-fabricated tanks, also sometimes called field-erected tanks, are storage tanks constructed on-location at their final destination, as opposed to being pre-built in a workshop. Here’s a breakdown of their key characteristics:
Site Fabricated Tanks Construction:
Built on-Site: These tanks are assembled directly at the location where they will be permanently used. This eliminates the need for transportation limitations on size.
Flexibility in Size: Since they are built on-site, site-fabricated tanks can be much larger than shop-fabricated tanks. They can be virtually any size required for the specific project.
Customization: Site fabrication allows for greater customization to fit specific needs and integrate seamlessly with existing structures or equipment.
Advantages and Considerations:
Large Capacity: Well-suited for large-scale storage requirements where a shop-fabricated tank wouldn’t be feasible due to size limitations.
Customization: Flexibility in design and on-site adjustments can be advantageous for specific project needs.
Logistics: No need for transportation of bulky tanks, but requires sufficient space for on-site construction
